Poll Of College Students
Favors Ike Two-To-One
Davidson, N. C. — Nov. 1 — Ten
thousand college students in the
Carolinas and Virginia favor Eisen
hower over Stevenson by two-to-
one.
In a poll conducted by 26 college
and university newspapers of the
three states, the students endorsed
the Republican ticket with 59.8 per
cent of the total vote. The Demo
crats trailed with 35.9 per cent.
Results of the poll were an
nounced today by Jim Bratten,
editor erf the Davidson College
Davidsonian, which coordinated the
three-state survey.
The States Rights Party polled
.7 of the vote, the Independent
ticket. 1.4%. and other candidates
r’ceived .5% of the total vote.
North Carolina, usually Demo-
rr.atic, turned to the Eisenhower-
Nixon team by 58.5% of the state’s
ponnlar vote on the collegiate level.
Three N. C. colleges maintained
• he traditional Democratic major-
Itv: Louisburg College, Woman’s
ollege of the University of North
E-rolina, and Presbyterian Junior
College. The Independent and
States Rights tickets together with
;dl individual candidates polled 1.1%
of the total North Carolina vote.
The Republicans led in Virginia
with 66.4% of the vote. The Demo
crats were lower than in either of
the other two states. The States
Rights element was stronger in
Virginia than the combined States
Rights. Independent and individual
candidates votes in North and
South Carolina.
In South Carolina the Republican
Party edged out ahead with 50.8%
of the state’s vote. South Carolina
submitted the highest number of
Independent votes and no States
Rights votes whatever. The Demo
crats had a higher percentage of
votes there than in either of the
other two states.
In the women’s colleges of the
three states, the Democratic and
Republican Parties were more
evenly matched in number than in
the male and co-ed institutions.
There were no collegiate woman’s
votes submitted for the States
Rights Party, and very few were
entered for individual candidates.
Every woman’s college except
W. C. U. N. C. favored Eisenhower-
Nixon.
The male institutions went in
every instance for the Republican
Party. All other parties and candi
dates combined totaled only 34.6%
of the male vote. These same col
leges, however, returned a higher
number of States Rights and indi
vidual candidate votes than the
co-ed and woman’s colleges com
bined.
Although as a body the co-edu-
cational colleges supported the Re
publican Party, one third of them
favored Stevenson-Kefauver on the
individual college level. The co-ed
institutions submitted more votes
for the Independent Party than did
the men’s and women’s colleges.

From The President
By Judy Graham,
Student Government President
A word of warning to all peti-
tioners-of-the-future: all petitions
whether personal or pertaining to
all students on campus should be
in the hands of some council mem
ber before 4:30 p.m. on Monday,
This will enable the council to act
on the petition in its regular ses
sion.
Otherwise it is very difficult to
gather together enough council
members to constitute a quorum at
called meetings. This is especially
true of petitions in which final
action comes from the faculty ad
visory board.
In these cases we can assure you
a much speedier answer if you
trar. The N. C. Association of
Registrars and Officers of Admis
sions is headed by the registrar of
Woman’s College, Greensboro.
Miss Simpson is secretary-treasurer
of the group.

have the petitions in on time.
* * ♦
The majority of the business in
the council meetings this week was
answering petitions. Several in
dividual petitions came before the
council for such things as obtain
ing extra overnights to attend
special church conferences.
Also, freshmen petitioners asked
that Friday night, November 2, not
be counted as an evening engage
ment so that many of the members
of the class (who are allowed only
one evening engagement before
midsemester) could attend the vari
ous functions included in Wake
Forest’s Homecoming activities.
The petition was denied as stated,
but this allowance was made;
freshmen who desire to attend the
Friday night function may. do so
with the knowledge that this event
will be charged as one of their
evening engagements after mid
semesters.
Also in connection with the com
ing weekend, several upperclassmen
petitioned that late permission be
granted for Friday and SMurday
nights. The terms of the petition,
which stated no specific time, were
granted.
Watch for announcement in re
gard to time, and please don’t for
get the procedure for obtaining
ate permission.
